The Chefs' Line (2017- )

RunningReality showFood

The Chefs Line' will explore the heritage, history and diversity that drives Australia's food culture, with home cooks challenging an entire chefs' line from some of the best restaurants across the country.

The series will be presented by SBS's resident food expert Maeve O'Meara. The dishes will be judged by three of Australia's hottest culinary stars; Executive Chef Dan Hong, renowned chef Mark Olive and leading food writer Melissa Leong.

Each week, The Chefs' Line will celebrate a different cuisine and a new chefs' line will represent their restaurant. The home cooks must earn their stripes and cook their way up the ranks of the chefs' line. We'll see passion and personality go into every plate they produce and witness not just competition, but camaraderie as the home cooks learn and laugh with the professional chefs.

In the ultimate food fight, four home cooks go up against the apprentice chef every Monday night. The home cooks with the best three plates on the pass progress through to the next night. On Tuesday, home cooks have moved a step up the chefs' line and cook against the station chef. Wednesdays is always the penultimate battle; home cooks take on the sous chef. Thursday night is the final night of the competition; the best home cook faces-off against the restaurant's head chef in the ultimate David vs Goliath battle.

In a special episode each Friday, Maeve O'Meara gives a guided tour of the featured restaurant, the chefs share stories from the week and tantalise with delicious recipes.

Can the passion of a home cook beat the skills of a professional? Who has what it takes to beat The Chefs' Line?

Miss Austen

Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane's letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.

The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her young friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father's death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help her friend, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane's reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy and Jane as they navigate the infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which shaped their lives and laid the foundations for Jane's unforgettable stories. Cassandra's re-evaluation of her past eventually leads her to realise how blind she has been to the real cause of Isabella's heartache and distress. Finding a way to guide Isabella towards true happiness, Cassandra is finally able to understand and celebrate the sacrifices she chose to make for her brilliant sister, Jane.
